How do people pass the summer in Dubai?

Some say the temperature in the summer in Dubai is very high. My family are moving there soon. I have three young kids with age range from 1%26amp;1/2 to 6 yrs old. I worry whether they can endure such high temperature or not. Can people work as normal in the summer, let say, those working in the construction line?Do the students, especially the very young, still go to school in the summer?Some say people leave the city in the summer, is it true?Where do they go normally?How do people pass the summer in Dubai?

Most people with an option (including locals) travel in the summer to places with cooler climates. Western ex-pats go home, and locals go to Europe or the US. But still, many people stay in the city in the summer, and they survive just fine. The key is air conditioning. Just as heating is vital for living in European countries or the northern US in the winter, air conditioning is vital for living in Dubai in the summer. Everyone and every building has AC (except the laborers, unfortunately). During the summer heat, people stay indoors or in their cars (which all have AC). If you want to go for a walk, you go to the mall and walk there. Most schools are out for summer vacation, but those that are open have AC. Starting sometime in late August to early September, evening temperatures will cool off enough so that you can walk on the corniche or in the parks at night. By mid to late October, daytime temperatures will start to become pleasant, and will stay that way until early to mid-March, when everyone heads indoors again.



You will soon develop a good respect for the heat and the sun. Stay out of it! Keep your kids out of it! They will do fine as long as they are not out in the heat or direct sun for any length of time (start with five minute periods, and keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't looking tired or confused). Keep the fluids flowing. Be prepared for mostly indoor play until October (just as most in Western countries is indoors in the winter). Several malls have small indoor playgrounds at the food courts.
